This is K.M. Wyland and you are listening to the 641st episode of the Helping Writers Become Authors Podcast.

Today's is a bit of a different episode, as I am excited to get to tell you about something I've been working on that is

releasing today. All this summer I have been working hard on a secret project

that combines two of my favorite things, archetypes and

guided meditation. And today I'm thrilled to announce I am releasing six

archetypal character guided meditations.

Based on the six transformational character

that I shared in my book, writing archetypal character

arcs, these meditations are designed to help you access

the deep symbolism of your own imagination. While it's true that reading about archetypes in a book or learning the structural beats of their

arcs can be transformative, the true magic of archetypes is not found in reading someone else's definitions, but in tapping the symbolism

in your own mind.

These guided meditations will help you dreamstorm new ideas for your stories, evoke the universal symbolism of

archetypes, access your own unique relationship to all the archetypal arcs, journey through these structural

beats of each archetypal journey, understand your characters at a deeper emotional level and intuitively create intertwined plots, characters, and themes.

So in creating these meditations, I wanted to share with all of you what has been for me one of the most

fantastic imaginative tools I've ever used. I call it the dream zone, but basically it's just doing what writers do best

zoning out and daydreaming about our stories. The difference is that we're doing

it consciously and with the help of these guided meditations

you can access all the most important parts of each archetype from deep within your own

imagination.

So what can you expect in the archetypal character guided meditations?
